Leicester looking at “tremendous” new boss
It has been reported recently that ex-Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper is in the running to be Leicester’s next boss ahead of the step-up to the Premier League, potentially angering Forest fans in the process with the Foxes a close rival geographically.

How Cooper could make Fatawu even better.
With the likelihood that Abdul Fatawu will make his loan spell with the Foxes permanent also another development coming out of the club – with promotion meaning they had a £14.5m obligation to make the move happen – the standout 20-year-old could be licking his lips at the prospect of working under Cooper.
That is the case when you look at what the ex-Forest manager got out of Brennan Johnson – who operated predominantly down Fatawu’s trusty right-wing during his tenure – before his jaw-dropping £47.5m move to Tottenham Hotspur occurred, meaning the slick 5 foot 10 attacker could even get better in the division above.
